“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”
―Philip Freneau

And by a prudent flight and cunning save A life which valour could not, from the grave. A better buckler I can soon regain, But who can get another life again?

Come to My House, Be One of the Comfortable People
It's a parking garage for a library in Kansas City, of all places. When I first saw it, I thought to myself how it would be kinda neat if other designers took note... but then do we really all want to go to grocery stores that look like soup cans?
I think it works for "inspirational" locations (like libraries and art galleries)... but not so much for "practical" ones.

Me, too.
